Chapter One
It had never occurred to Nicholas Ferrell that he had reason to fear being kidnapped. After all, it was girls who got kidnapped, not guys. Well, okay. He knew it could happen, but he assumed it would be a man who snatched him up if anything. Certainly not a woman.
It happened in the summer of 2008. Nicholas liked to hang out with his friends at the local swimming pool and a woman named Amanda MacDonald was the new lifeguard.
"She's smoking hot, isn't she?" Nicholas' twin brother Nick said. The two were identical, with short blonde hair and brown eyes. The only difference being that Nick had a wider look about him than Nicholas. He was gawking at the voluptuous blonde woman who was patrolling on the lifeguard chair in nothing but a bikini.
"I dunno." Nicholas shrugged. He was shyer about girls than his horndog of a brother.
"Come on. Admit it. You wish you could bone her."
"I mean, I guess she's pretty." Nicholas's cheeks burned bright red at Nick's vulgarity. He had no filter sometimes. "But, she's a lot older than us."
"So? Ever heard of the song Stacy's mom?" Nick smirked.
"I think I'll stick with Stacy..." Nicholas mumbled, diving back into the water to block out the sound of his brothers laughing. He didn't want to think too much about it.
Nicholas planned to join the swim team when he was in high school so he was trying to prepare himself. He liked the water. It was soothing. When he came back above water, he noticed Amanda's eyes on him. He didn't think too much of it at the time. She was probably just making sure he wasn't going to drown. It was her job.
After a couple of hours of goofing off in the water, Nick decided he was going to head home. He looked over at Nicholas.
"You coming?"
"Nah. I think I wanna stay and practice some more."
"You overachiever. You know you're going to look like a shriveled prune when you finally get out." Nick taunted playfully.
"I'll be an old man." Nicholas chuckled, not leaving the water.
"Okay. I'll be sure to get that walker out of the attic for when you get home."
"Tell mom I won't be long."
"Okay, see ya later," Nick said, waving goodbye.
Nicholas started doing some laps in the water, excited to improve. He was tired of being a nobody, stuck in Nick's shadow. Nick was more outgoing and social whereas Nicolas was more withdrawn. Everyone knew Nick. Everyone preferred Nick and for so long Nicholas had just accepted it. Well, not anymore. Things would be different next year.
Nicholas wanted to make something of himself. Swimming was going to be his thing. He was going to be known for it. It would make him stand outside of the crowd and give him something to talk about while socializing with his peers. He never knew what to say. This would be the answer to all of his problems.
He continued to swim for a couple hours more, completely losing track of time. He hadn't even noticed everyone heading out of the pool. The sound of Amanda's whistle brought him back to the present. He looked up at her apologetically.
"Sorry, Ma'am." He said, hastily getting out of the pool. "I apologize. I was just getting ready to head out."
He looked at the sky and groaned. It would be dark by the time he got home. His mom was going to kill him.
"It's quite alright, Nicholas." Amanda smiled pleasantly.
Nicholas looked up with a flicker in his eyes. Usually, people confused him for his twin. He couldn't help feeling a little giddy that the beautiful lifeguard could tell them apart.
"Do you need a ride home?" She questioned.
"Uh...it's okay. Don't worry about it."
"It's really not a problem, Nicholas." She said in a saccharine voice. "It's getting late. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you and I could have stopped it."
Nicholas was blushing again. He had never received such flattery from a girl-er-woman.
"O-Okay. If you're sure. I could even pay you. I got my allowance today." Nicholas said eagerly, grabbing his towel and drying himself off. "How much do you want?"
"Oh, don't you go offering me money simply for being a good samaritan. " Amanda scolded playfully.
"Okay." Nicholas submitted, embarrassed by his lack of social skills. "Thank you."
Amanda led him to her car after he pulled his T-shirt on and was dried properly. He couldn't tell you what kind of car it was. He didn't know a lot about cars. He never found them interesting the way Nick did. He just knew it was nice. He got in the passenger side with a timid smile. He could just hear Nick going on and on about how lucky he was to have gotten a ride from Amanda Macdonald.
Amanda was about to get into the driver's seat before stopping herself. "You want anything to drink? I've got a cooler in the back seat. It's got juice, water, and bottled lemon tea. Take your pick. I think I'm going to have some water."
"Uh, okay. Sure." Nicholas said, "A tea would be nice."
Amanda nodded and pulled one out and offering it to him with a kind smile. He took it with a shy thank you and drank it down. It had a bit of an odd taste to it, but he was too polite to inform her. He continued drinking it so he would have an excuse not to talk. He was too anxious. He couldn't understand why his mind always went blank in social situations.
Over time, Nicholas found himself starting to get increasingly dizzy. His eyelids felt heavy and he felt his head starting to spin. He tried to speak, but words wouldn't form. It briefly occurred to him that he hadn't given Amanda his home address and she hadn't asked. He wanted to tell her, but everything felt like too much effort. His vision started to blur and darkness enveloped him.
